I am not very interested in seeing this movie, but trailers for it remind me of talk a few years back of Jackman starring in a Broadway musical about Houdini. Jackman always seemed too tall and Waspy to play Houdini, but Efron, who looks a bit like the young Tony Curtis, would be perfect. I haven't seen many of his movies, they just don't appeal to me, but in the one I did see (on an airplane), it was obvious he is a good actor who would probably shine if given good material.
The Greatest Showman doesn't seem bad, actually, but it seems more like a good family film than a good film. |
